The evil wizard Flagg has watched and waited. King Roland, once powerful, is old and weak. Prince Peter, the measure of a king in all ways, stands to inherit the realm. His younger brother, Thomas, is more to Flagg's liking. A few grains of Dragon Sand will change everything. With- in minutes the king is dead, Prince Peter imprisoned for the murder, and Thomas is King. Flagg is in control of Delain. But through the Eyes of the Dragon, someone has seen all. Someone whose days have turned into night- mares. While in the royal prison, at the top of the Needle, Prince Peter plans a daring escape. --front flap

I had no memory of this! Really enjoyed it though, love the tie-ins with the Dark Tower and the fantasy atmosphere. The copy I got from the library was a 1st (UK) edition with some illustrations and an AMAZING font for the chapter headings etc. This book has inspired me to create a 16bit chiptune dungeon synth project in its honour.
